The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
U.S. News & World Report recently released their list of the 30 Best Careers for 2009, their survey of jobs they consider to have the “best outlook in this recessionary economy (and beyond), the highest rates of job satisfaction, the least difficult training necessary, the most prestige, and the highest pay.” Careers as diverse as engineering to nursing and the clergy made the list. Nursing in particular is facing a hiring shortage crisis nationwide.
You can see ten of these hot careers profiled with a local angle by visiting the top jobs for 2009 photo gallery on ajcjobs.

Government bureaucrats. And the Civilian Conservation Corps will likely be reinstated.

I’m a User Experience Specialist and I have to agree, it’s a great job. I have been in this field since 1998. The USN&WR article does a good job of summarizing some of the ups and downs of our field.

I can’t believe the AJC didn’t include public school teacher as a recession-proof job. While a first or second year teacher may be at risk of being surplussed, if you have been at the same school for several years and teach math, science, English, social studies, or special ed, you can be certain that you’ll have a job through the end of the current school year and in the future.
